Silk Tabriz / 18293

This Silk Tabriz antique rug measures 3' 11" x 5' 6" and carries the quiet refinement of a finely drawn floral composition. A pale ivory ground supports an arched central medallion filled with scrolling vines, blossoms, and airy open reserve, while faded red, blush, aqua, and soft blue details frame the field with layered borders. The overall effect is light, graceful, and softly worn, with the sheen of silk muted by age. Circa 1895 - 1915, it reads as elegant and collected, with the kind of surface variation that gives a silk rug its depth and atmosphere.
